Mozilla Europe supports FOSDEM
Thu, 2007-02-08 13:00 — loki
From the start, FOSDEM has been organized to help Free and Open Source software developers meet and exchange ideas.
It has been a big satisfaction to see Mozilla Europe taking up on this opportunity since 2002.
The feeling appears mutual because this year, Mozilla Europe is supporting FOSDEM financially. The fact that this is Mozilla Europe's own initiative, with no strings attached, makes it even more appreciated.
A big thanks to Mozilla Europe !

FOSDEM Beer Event
Sun, 2007-01-07 23:32 — philipAs every year, we're organizing the FOSDEM beer event at the Roy d'Espagne on Friday night before FOSDEM (23 February).
The Roy d'Espagne is a very nice café on the Grand Place in Brussels, certainly one of the most beautiful places in Europe.
As usual, the Estaminet will be ours for the night.
While coming over to Brussels to attend FOSDEM, don't miss this great opportunity to taste some of the finest beer in Belgium (and, hence, in the world).
